That's what I was planning on doing. I can also delete lousier or message-
content-reliant ones at the same time, as the latter don't stand by themselves
for use in any old message. But I wasn't about to discourage anyone if they
could do it.
And yes, there was a spampuck sans spamcake. Also, not all of the directives
start with "when replying" either. I haven't counted, but I managed to slurp
dozens so far from a Lugnet search. I didn't expect to have a ready-for-
primetime list with 24 hours anyway.
BTW, thanks for the search parameters! I'll use those in the future too (if
they still apply then).

when replying, spamcake is combustible; I don't advise birthday candles.
